Techinics Sp-10 Mk2a break-in period

Hello Dave,

I got mine without a power supply, so I had to make one, actually I'm making five of them, so I have a few extra. Is it better than the original ? I don't know, what I do know is, that is ridiculously overbuilt as almost anything we make :-)

Good Listening

Peter

Peter, hi, by that logic the power cord doesn't affect the sound of the turntable either.

Any power cord with sufficient gauge and good connectors will suffice - if anyone can "hear" a difference with a PC in this particular position I'd state that it is imagined - however to some perception is reality, this is clearly not me.

Good listening

Peter

Sp-10 mk2 owners know the stock power cord on the PS is a thin lamp cord with a two prong connector. I was thinking of upgrading the PC to something better (undecided yet) and with a three pin male connector. I would gladly make the power cord change if it would improve the sound.

There are 'good connectors' and there are always better connectors. I will not argue this particular case because I have no idea, but usually differences in power cords are quite audible, sometimes big time audible.
Another point - we do not have equal hearing abilities in all components of these complex perceptions. What is imagination to some can be a reality to others. To put it another way - if you don't hear something, that doesn't mean it cannot be heard. How important is the difference? It varies and it depends.
